Agree! There used to be many more, traveling is not always about couples / families, even if I took my dad/brother with me (e.g. fishing), this floor-plan is much more comfortabôe
Winnebago, Coach House, Forest River, Thor, LTV, Phoenix Cruiser all offer small rigs with twin beds. The only one I can think of that does not is Nexxus.
If the door opened into the bath the beds could slide out to 36 inches instead of only 32 inches. During the day they could slide into 24 inches with a 12 inch backrest and lagune tables for another usable daytime area. Might be a better option than a cot size twin bed.
I love the BT Cruisers. The twin beds are perfect, considering my husband and I have entirely separate bedrooms! Now if I could just get a tiny RV with two bathrooms as well! 😂
Like the floor plan, the turnable front seats, absolutely love the rear bathroom. Wish it had solar and continuous hot water heater. Oh and bathroom door should slide for room sake. Ohhh and too expensive for what it is !!!!!
In the cockpit, it actually makes some sense to have the screen for the cameras where you would normally look at the rear view mirror. You don't have to take your eyes off the road for as long, and it's more natural. I do agree that the old style radio is weird and that the interior finishes are boring. I love the twin beds. Wish it were upgraded in finishes just a bit.
Matt & Andrea, so happy you two are still here with us! Sorry about the General RV thing! I only watched General because I felt you Matt and Andrea were telling the favorites as you did!
This is a perfect RV for small trips. It has everything you need and is well laid out. I love that the front seats swivel around and become part of the main cabin if you have guest.
There is more room and that b+ with the slides closed then in most RVs very impressive but I'm not ready to spend my time with a bathroom on top of my bed
I like the option of the twin beds or one big bed. Like the the bath room. Love the loungers and the fact at how small it is there’s a lot of storage. My dislikes are the screens up front by driver. Can’t really think of anymore dislikes really. Thank you Matt and Andrea for shoring this Class B+.
I like the amount of walking space when the slides are in it’s not bad at all. TV on a swivel is a must for it’s position. Can’t believe it has a plastic toilet.
I love twin beds! Queen size beds are too narrow when you sleep with a bed hog. The fiberglass caps on the front and rear really look nice. Great open floor plan and lots of storage. Now for the dislikes: 2-way fridge instead of 12v, that plastic toilet, and all the hookups being out on the side instead of inside a compartment.
@@ericalampley480 so optional. You know how some have a top bunk you can collapse? Be nice to have the option to have 4 bunks or two on one side, one on the other and storage above. Or any combo.
Hey Matt and Andrea, great review! I like the twin beds and rear bath. Not crazy about the small outside storage areas and the plastic toilet! Keep on keepin' on!
Thanks Matt and Andrea for another great RV review! Andrea you are right that interior is boring and dated! Matt you are right that shower kicks butt! I love the twins and the storage in the bed area. This is a great floor plan for shorter trips👍
Thanks for doing your best, and for apologizing for the wind. It was too much. If it's ever that windy again, maybe you could record the outside as B-roll, then talk about it inside? Sorry Jen, more work for you!
Love it! Actually prefer a 2 or 3 way fridge over the 12 vdc only so many do now. But where is the spare tire? Nice options could include a porcelain toilet and solar.
t The twin beds are great for seniors who need to get up in the middle of the night but don't want the gymnastics of one climbing over the other (bed oriented sideways) or (in a front to back one-bed layout) of scooching down the bed to get out.
Ok the plastic potty is probably due to supply chain disruptions. Same with the dash - manufacturer's are trying to get the product out for customers. I like the layout and I would probably go to U-Joint Off-road - get 4x4 added so I have a little more clearance for desert camping.
Hello Matt and Andrea! Thanks for the review. Can you please do a review on the Gulf Stream BT Cruiser 5240? In our research for the floor plan, the BT Cruiser 5240 is the one that we liked. However, there doesn't seem that many out there for us to check out. It would be very much appreciated!!
You like that extra chair, but I’m not in love with it. For a motor home that only sleeps two, you have seating for FIVE. I’d dump that chair and add storage. And a porcelain potty. And I LIKE the decor. This could be pretty much ideal for couples and singles looking for a smaller motor home.
Love the layout especially the twin beds but the door needs to be a pocket door and they must get a porcelain toilet not plastic one that’s just a big boooo . Also do they offer this in full or partial paint ??
I like the twin bed model in the back, I can take the grandkids or friends etc.. you didn’t mention if there was a TV in the back by the beds, so I’m assuming there was not, but are there hook ups for one if you want to put your own? I think that it was a very nice to Motorhome. My very first Motorhome was an 04 BT cruiser 27 ft. it was such a sweet ride.
I want to like this RV for the floor plan and lower height profile, able to access refrigerator and bathroom with slide in, and able to sleep with slide in, Ford V8 and E350/450 chassis (TPMS, traction control). But what kills it for me (stated by many others above) is storage outside is too small for a folding table or chair, no factory roof penetration for solar, the electric on/off switch to the hot water heater is not on the main panel but only accessible by opening the heater’s outside panel (correct?), the trailer brake controller is not Ford factory but looks like DIY, no suspension upgrade (Sumo, Hellwig sway, Firestone air bag.), in addition to dated dash and interior, and ammonia absorption refrigerator instead of 12v compressor. But in its favor, under normal market circumstances a BT Cruiser should be cheaper than it’s competitors.
Likes: twin beds, theater seats, interior storage. Dislikes: bedroom location makes for inadequate outdoor storage (prefer rear twin beds), needs 12V compressor refrigerator, towing capacity @ 5000 is a bit light for an E450 chassis. EDIT - MFR web site says 7500 LB towing capacity. New dislike is lack of solar prep or maybe combo the 12V refrigerator with add convection microwave and eliminate the oven.
dislikes - 1. Need longer beds, 2. need higher interior height, 3. would love to have a way to expand the counter space; likes 1. placement of cargo bays and open bottom drain bay, 2. walking space/accessibility to necessities with the slide in, 3.Azdel Thank you for your videos and your great customer service.
Hey Matt Can you address a rumor I heard that Ford is going to raises the price of the E 450 chassis by $7,000.00 on March 1st, with another increase coming about 2 months later. Would be a great topic considering so many of the class C RV s are on Ford E 450 chassis. Keep up the great videos!! Don
Like rear bath and overhead tv. The kitchen is way to small no pantry or food storage, hate round sink, no real outside storage where do you put at least outsides chairs
Glad Andrea is back. Prefer Andrea to work with Matt; just sayin. Dislikes: twisty storage locks, truck part of rv is different color, twin beds, small tires, I'd prefer a little more CCC, shower door, Likes: big awning, entertainment center over cab, closet in bathroom. Loved the sleeping demo. :)
Likes: Fiberglass roof, front cap and rear cap, generator is not under the beds, and auto-leveling. Dislikes: Twist locks, water connections should be behind a lockable cover, power cord is not permanently attached to the RV, and water heater is not tankless and the cover does not match the paint color or decals.
Hi Guy's & WAY-To-Go. Throwing in THE "Monster Godzilla" of all RV's.XD Gulf Stream Anything,, is outstandingly built. BUT,, the BT Cruiser is an exceptionally made Recreational Vehicle,, and my personal choice for RV life. They give you options of (ID) interior decor & floor plans (FP). You can change up the LO, tires, Chassis. Awesome company with Integrity. :) P.S. Don't forget the AZDEL insulation and "Cradle of Strength" structural made. Same "Born Free" Safety apply's within the BT Cruiser.
the interior is very masculine. Great for friends traveling together, but I don't think a lot of women will choose this model. My one dislike is the lack of backsplash on the side wall next to the cooktop
Matt - the model in this video is different from the floor plan that pops up on the screen at the beginning with the U-Shaped Dinette. I'd actually like to see that one reveiwed if possible. I've been waiting ages for a B+ that had twin beds and the u-shaped dinette. I've been asking Nate from Coachman for 2 years now to make one. I'm glad someone finally did. LIKES: The beds. The engine. The overall floorplan. DISLIKES: Wish it was all electric with lithium. Want to see the version with the U-shaped dinette. Plastic toilet.
Great floor plan. Like the Azdel, twin beds, fiberglass roof. Do NOT like the dated decor and cabinetry. Also, while it is apparent that they are building to a budget, they really need to update some of the componentry like the old inefficient propane/120v fridge (replace with 12v), the outside lead-acid batteries (replace with Lithium minimum 400ah, include a 320w panel with option to double that, option a 3000w inverter, etc, etc. Everyone is quickly getting rid of propane and moving all-electric. It is quite feasible to eliminate the generator altogether these days with Truma heat, A/C, etcand supplement with solar with a second alternator to charge the battery. Don't become another Kodak!!!
There are friends that travel together that are not romantically involved so the twin beds are awesome and it's about time they made it an option
ABSOLUTELY! More manufacturers should do it!
Agree! There used to be many more, traveling is not always about couples / families, even if I took my dad/brother with me (e.g. fishing), this floor-plan is much more comfortabôe
Winnebago, Coach House, Forest River, Thor, LTV, Phoenix Cruiser all offer small rigs with twin beds. The only one I can think of that does not is Nexxus.
Really liked it but wish the bathroom door was a pocket door.
Wish they would start making lay flat theater seats. Kinda like the F150 max recline seats
If they did that maybe I wouldn't object so much to the theater seats. Because you do lose sleeping arrangements when getting the theater seats
I liked how you guys did the inside of the unit first and the outside last. You should consider doing it this way.
If the door opened into the bath the beds could slide out to 36 inches instead of only 32 inches. During the day they could slide into 24 inches with a 12 inch backrest and lagune tables for another usable daytime area. Might be a better option than a cot size twin bed.

Although that's puny amount of outside storage! Where do the Blackstone and chairs go? Have to travel with them in the bathroom or something..
This is a perfect RV for small trips. It has everything you need and is well laid out. I love that the front seats swivel around and become part of the main cabin if you have guest.
I agree about the interior. It looks like my parents' 1979 motorhome. I love everything else, except the toilet, and ALL that is fixable.
While I dislike Gulfstream I like the layout and biggest like is how you can easily navigate the coach without having the slide out.
Are you still in texas? Just seen a video you was at NRVTA center. My grandson loves you it would be great to meet you.
Smart! By separating the bed, it allows a nice size bathroom on a small rv. It would be neat to see a slightly higher end version of this floor plan.
Nice layout. Needs bigger windows. Over cab would be better if was just open space.
Love the theater seats, interior color and a oven!!!!! Don’t like the cabinet over the cab
I want to see what the little tables are like for the sofa/recliners
There is more room and that b+ with the slides closed then in most RVs very impressive but I'm not ready to spend my time with a bathroom on top of my bed
Love the twin beds. Would like darker furniture and lighter cabinets.

Can you get bunk beds in the back?

At the amber markers under the mirrors for signaling? That’s a cool feature and should be on more motorhomes.
This RV probably has the power mirrors with turn signal option for the E350/E450
This is one of my favorite motorhomes, love this layout.
For single two beds still to my opinion needs a long folding door divider my opinion!!
They should have a pocket door for the bathroom- the door they have gets in the way.
Put optional bunks over twin beds and a bunk over cab. Lower price to under 100k and you'll have a very popular model for small families.
But you'd lose all you wardrobe storage with bunks over the twins.
@@ericalampley480 so optional. You know how some have a top bunk you can collapse? Be nice to have the option to have 4 bunks or two on one side, one on the other and storage above. Or any combo.
Hey Matt and Andrea, great review! I like the twin beds and rear bath. Not crazy about the small outside storage areas and the plastic toilet! Keep on keepin' on!
Love it. Perfect for my daughter and I.
Thanks Matt and Andrea for another great RV review! Andrea you are right that interior is boring and dated! Matt you are right that shower kicks butt! I love the twins and the storage in the bed area. This is a great floor plan for shorter trips👍
If they could just slide one bed over and move the bathroom door then you would have the perfect couple’s camper for the vast majority of people👍👍👍
I prefer the twin beds with that aisle for dressing, easy access, etc and many, many older couples sleep separately!
Thanks for doing your best, and for apologizing for the wind. It was too much. If it's ever that windy again, maybe you could record the outside as B-roll, then talk about it inside? Sorry Jen, more work for you!
I'm married and I like the separated beds. It just seems roomier :D
Please do a review on the Thor ws31 Class C
Love it!
Actually prefer a 2 or 3 way fridge over the 12 vdc only so many do now.
But where is the spare tire?
Nice options could include a porcelain toilet and solar.
I don’t like the small storage bins outside. Nowhere to store bigger items.
Matt are there any 33' Classic Twin AS with white cabinets you can get w/o ordering new? i'm trying to locate a lightly used 2022 please.
You guys are adorable 🥰
I am impressed. That is a nice smaller Class C. And I don't mind the interior colors. The screen, odd.
Good Floorplan for a smallish class C, but the decor urgently needs to be updated.
Great price .. I've seen used go for almost as much. I'd probably change the toilet ..

The twin beds are great for seniors who need to get up in the middle of the night but don't want the gymnastics of one climbing over the other (bed oriented sideways) or (in a front to back one-bed layout) of scooching down the bed to get out.

❤❤ Mat, have you ever compared the weight of porcelain to plastic toilets?
Also, the difference in price?
Nice unit. 👍👍
Hello Matt and Andrea! Thanks for the review. Can you please do a review on the Gulf Stream BT Cruiser 5240? In our research for the floor plan, the BT Cruiser 5240 is the one that we liked. However, there doesn't seem that many out there for us to check out. It would be very much appreciated!!
I had 3 beds in a 24’ class C.
You like that extra chair, but I’m not in love with it. For a motor home that only sleeps two, you have seating for FIVE. I’d dump that chair and add storage. And a porcelain potty. And I LIKE the decor. This could be pretty much ideal for couples and singles looking for a smaller motor home.
Thanks guys. I agree with your review.
I LIKE this unit!!!! I wish we could buy it !!!!!! Give me a porcelain toilet.
Looking 😀 great really both of you 👍✌️🙂😉
I wonder where you put your silverware ?
How do you get that opening so consistent..it makes it look like you are launching into flight..lol
Can I upgrade the toilet 🚻🤔?
I'm surprised that neither of you mentioned the accordion door as a dislike.
Love this video and especailly love this motorhome. Wish it had a porcelain toilet and a solar option
Are you going to do a review on the new Navion Winnebago 24v? or the new airstream?
Love the excitement u guys bring. Rock on!
Love the twin beds!
Love the layout especially the twin beds but the door needs to be a pocket door and they must get a porcelain toilet not plastic one that’s just a big boooo . Also do they offer this in full or partial paint ??
6:57 I felt that
How long is this Unit
Around 25'. The middle numbers in 5255 are roughly the length. It's like that for BT Cruiser and Conquest.
Like the twin beds and Azdel, not sure about the dump valves or lack of solar prep, dislike the slide and non-12v fridge.
That's gotta be an E-350 chassis!
E-450 with the 7.3L GODZILLA!
I like the twin bed model in the back, I can take the grandkids or friends etc.. you didn’t mention if there was a TV in the back by the beds, so I’m assuming there was not, but are there hook ups for one if you want to put your own? I think that it was a very nice to Motorhome. My very first Motorhome was an 04 BT cruiser 27 ft. it was such a sweet ride.
Oh and they could’ve put a little lift up counter extension on the counter on the kitchen.
Hi Matt. Hi Andrea. Xoxo
Loving this RV
nice tire review
Love it! You guys are great!
I would love if you can show us the 5240

This would be almost perfect if they left the chair out and put a cabinet in for silverware and other kitchen items.
The bathroom door should be a pocket door
Does this camper have fridge I didn’t see one.
Next time show the outside and do a voice-over describing the details.
Like the bedroom, extra seat and long awning. Don’t like the color of wheels. Thanks!
I agree with Andrea on the look of the interior. It looks kinda cheap aesthetically.

Might have been a rumor. We get the chassis in with a typical widow sticker. They've been around $36,000 the past 2 years I've worked at Gulfstream.
